Cleaner for Recaro seat plastics ?

[sevenfourate]

What do you guys use on the plastics for your Recaros ?

Only just got mine and they aren't in the car yet (Sitting at work currently).....so can't quite picture how dark the plastic is either !! ??

I sometimes use Auto Finesse revive on darker interior and exterior trim that's really in need of a 'blacken'.

But sitting here I'm thinking the backs of the seats particularly are reasonably light grey in colour ?

What are you clean freaks all whipping out to clean / maintain yours ?

I use Chemical Guys Inner Clean to keep the interior spotless. Easy to use and doesn't leave any sticky or greasy residues like some cleaners.

Interior I dont really use any 'blackening' products I currently have Autoperfekt N1 Dash which is ok, Autofinesse Spritz is ok, over on detailing world ODK cabin gets a lot of love not tried it yet.

One I want to buy is Gyeon Preserve to give some protection on interior.

From memory the plastic is quite dark. I use this Meguiars product and seems to work well.

Perl from Carpro works good, just sponge it in and wipe.

Cheers guys.

I'm going to go for this today in readiness for getting my seats back soon. Re-prompted by recently seeing pictures of a pair of 197 / 200's Recaros - prepped with this and i thought the finish was fantastic.

To be fair - the blurb on it sounds similar the CarPro Perl stuff......

Let us know how you get on with this stuff mate.
I've got AF Revive which is great on external plastics but the blurb on this stuff sounds ideal for protecting poxy side vents and lower grille

I couldn't get the marks out on mine but a quick wipe over with some alcantara did the trick

Good to know buddy. Thanks. Will please @Big Ben i reckon.......

I have a finish i'm happy with inside....on everything but the seats; only using a couple of products. I tried both of them on the seat backs and they wern't very effective or pleasing to look at. So hunting for something else.....

 

[kevlar]

Hmmm maybe try one of these...

Cheers muchly.

Have you used these or similar Kev ?

The seat backs have a couple of pretty minor scuff on them. Luckily - from feet / shoes i'm guessing; so down pretty low and not really visible. Especially from the drivers seat

What that means though - is that the scuffs are lighter in colour and what i've tried so far neither gave a brilliant finish to the good bits. Or covered the bad bits !

I'm looking to get a uniform finish and mask these if at all possible.....i'm sure something exists !

Used C4 on black bumpers did a really good job - also used autofinesse revive again only used it on exterior plastics:
